I need to write a groovy email template to send HTML email in a Jenkins job, I copied the following example and made some changes, https://github.com/jenkinsci/email-ext-plugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/hudson/plugins/emailext/templates/groovy-html.template

I found that the following call returns null even if the job has the the plugin "Cucumber reports" configured in post-build actions

it.getAction("org.jenkinsci.plugins.cucumber.jsontestsupport.CucumberTestResultAction")

it threw the following exception:

Exception raised during template rendering: Cannot invoke method getResult() on null object
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method getResult() on null object

How can I get the actual Cucumber test results in groovy template? by the way what is the predefined variable it in the template, what's the class type of it, I am curious about it.

the groovy template is as follows:

<BODY>
<%
def featureResults=[]
def cucumberTestResultAction = it.getAction("org.jenkinsci.plugins.cucumber.jsontestsupport.CucumberTestResultAction")
featureResults=cucumberTestResultAction.getResult()
def fail_test=0
def passed_test=0
def skip_test=0
def total_tests=0
featureResults.each {
fResult ->
fail_test=fail_test+fResult.getFailCount()
passed_test=passed_test+fResult.getPassCount()
skip_test=skip_test+fResult.getSkipCount()
}
total_tests=fail_test+passed_test+skip_test
%>
</BODY>

the job is configured with the plugin Cucumber reports for generating Cucumber test report, but it doesn't use cucumber-plugin, it runs tests with gradle command line.

Thanks

cucumber-reports does not contain CucumberTestResultAction so the action will never be added by it which is the main issue you have.

CucumberTestResultAction is provided by the cucumber-testresult plugin cucmber-reports as far as I am aware does (at least did not) not provide a model you can inteorogate or otherwise integrate with Jenkins and is a mostly dumb publisher around converted HTML.
